This book investigates the development of wearable technologies across a range of applications from educational assessment to health, biomedical sensing, and energy harvesting. It discusses some key innovations in micro/nano fabrication of these technologies, their basic working mechanisms, and the challenges facing their progress.

This book offers the reader a comprehensive view of the design space of wearable computers, cutting across multiple application domains and interaction modalities. Besides providing several examples of wearable technologies, Wearable Interaction illustrates how to create and to assess interactive wearables considering human factors in design decisions related to input entry and output responses. The book also discusses the impacts of form factors and contexts of use in the design of wearable interaction.
